JUDGMENT AND MERCY.

Matthew XII. 20-30; Luke K. 1915; 81, %.
Then began he to upbraid the cities where
in most of his mighty works were done, be-
cause they repented not. "Woe unto thee,
Chorazin woe unto thee, Bethsaida! for if the
mighty works had been done in Tyre and
Sidon which have been done in you, they
would have repented long ago, sitting in
sackcloth and ashes. Howbeit | say unto
you, it shall be more tolerable for Tyre and
Sidon in the day of Judgment, than for you.
And thou, Oapernaum, shalt thou be exalted
unto heaven? thou shalt go down unto Hades:
for if the mighty works had been done in
Sodom which we're done in thee, it would
have remained until this day. Howbeit,
say unto you, that it shall be more tolerable
for the land of Sodom in the day of judg-
ment, than for thee"
At that season, in the same hour, JESUS re-
joiced in the Holy Spirit, and answered and
said, al thank Thee, o Father, LORD of
heaven and earth, that Thou didst hide these
things from the wise and understanding, and
didst reveal them unto babes; yea, Father,
for so it was well-pleasing in Thy sight.
"All things have been delivered unto me
of my Father: neither doth any know who
the Son is save the Father; neither doth any
know who the Father is, save the Son, and he
to whomsoever the Son willeth to reveal
Him.
"Come unto me, all ye that labor and are
heavy laden, and 1 will give you rest. Take
my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for am
meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find
rest unto your souls. For my yoke is easy
and my burden is light"

THE SAVAGE WAY.
How the Indian Treats an Injury
Old-Time Methods.

The savage is emphatically the child
of nature He lives close to nature; his
only education is gained in nature
school.
When the Indian receives an injury, he
does not seek a cure in mineral poisons
but binds on the simple leaf, administers
the herbal tea, and, with natures aid
comes natural recovery.
Our rugged ancestors, who pierced the
wilderness, built their uncouth but com
Portable log cabins and started the clear
ings in the woods, which in time became
the broad, fertile fields of the modern
farmer, found in roots and herbs that lay
close at hand natures potent remedies
for all their common ailments. It was
only in very serious cases y ey sent for
old saddle bags" with his lhysic, which
quite as often killed as cured.
Latter day society has wandered too
far away from nature, in every way, for
it's own good. Our grandfathers and
grandmothers lived wholesomer, purer'
better, healthier, more natural lives than
we do. Their minds were not filled with
noxious isms, nor their bodies saturated
with poisonous drugs.
Is it not time to make change, to re
turn to the simple vegetable preparations
of our grandmothers, which contained
the power and potency of nature as rem
edial agents, and in all the ordinary all
ments were efficacious, least harmless?
The proprietors of Warmers Log Cabin
Remedies have thought so, and have put
on the market number of these pure
vegetable preparations, made from form
ulas secured after patient searching into
the annals OF the past, SO that those who
want them need not be without them.
Among these Log Cabin Remedies will
be found clog Cabin Sarsapsrilla," for
the blood; " Log Cabin Hops and Buchu
Remedy" tonic and stomach Remedy;
"Log Cabin Cough and Consumption
Remedy" " Log Cabin Scalpine," for
strengthening and renewing the hair;
"Log Cabin Extract" for both external
and internal application; clog Cabin
Liver Pills." "Log Cabin Rose Cream -
an old but effective remedy for catarrh,
and "Log Cabin Plasters." All these
remedies are carefully prepared from
recipes which were found, after long in
vestigation, to have been those most sue
cessfully used by our grandmothers OF
Eye olden time" They are the simple,
vegetable, efficacious remedies of Log
Cabin days.

OTHEREPARABLEs.

Matthew xiii. 31-33; 1852 Mark iv. 30 80.
1. The Grain of Mustard seed. par
able set he before them, saying, Chow shall
we liken the kingdom of Cop? or in what
parable shall we set it forth2 The kingdom
of heaven is like unto grain of mustard
seed, which man took and sowed in his
field; which though it be less than all the
seeds that are upon the earth, yet, when it is
sown, groweth up, and becometh greater
than all the herbs, and becometh tree, and
putteth out great branches; 80 that the birds
of the heaven come and lodgein the branches
under the shadow thereof"
2. The Leaven.-Another parable spake he
unto them: "The kingdom of heaven is like
unto leaven, which woman took, and hid in
three measures of meal, till it was all leav
ened.'
8. The Hidden Treasure" The kingdom
of heaven is like unto treasure hidden in
the field; which man found, and hid; and in
his JOY he goeth and selleth all that he hath,
and buyeth that tield.A
4. The Pearl of Great Price.-s'Again the
kingdom of heaven is like unto man that is
a merchant seeking goodly pearls; and hav-
ing found one pearl of great price, he went
and sold all that he had and bought it."
5. The Net.-"Again the kingdom of heav-
en- is like unto a net that was cast into the
sea, and gathered of every kind; which, when
it was filled, they drew up on the beach; and
they sat down, and gathered the good into
vessels, but the bad they cast away. So shall
it be in the end of the world: the angels shall
come forth and sever the wicked from among
the righteous, and shall cast them into the
furnace of fire; there shall be weeping and
crashing of teeth"
=" Have ye understood all these things?
They say unto him, "Yea." And he said
unto them, Therefore every scribe who
hath been made disciple to the kingdom
of heaven is like unto man that is house
holder, who bringeth forth out of his treasure
things new and DID,"

FOURTH QUARTER.
STUDIES IN THE NEW TESTAMENT.
December 20, 1887.
XIII.-QUARTERLY REVIEW.
BY REV. ROBERT t. POLK.

THE STORY IN THE G0sPELs.-For a
Study of the Review Lesson we give the Cos
pei story of the Lessons of the past three
months, compiled from the accounts of
all the Evangelists. The text employed is
that of the American Revision. Any change
from the language of the text is for the pur-
pose of combining two or more accounts in
one connected statement. Where different
statements cannot be combined we have en-
deavored to give the one most conclusive.
The Lessons are not arranged in chronology
ical order, but in the topical order of the
Gospel according to Matthew. The series
for the Quarter under review begins with a
series of six miracles wrought by JESUS dur
ing his Galilean ministry lessons I-lV);
these are followed by accounts concerning
the effects of this ministry (V-IX); and the
series concludes with series of seven para
bles spoken by JESUS to illustrate the nature,
progress and ultimate triumph of his king
dom, apparently because of the violent oppo-
sition his ministry encountered from the rul-
ing Jews. Chronologically the Lessons may
be arranged in the following order: ILL.,, *,
l., VII, WILL, X, XI., XII, H., w., ", vi.

JESUS AND THE SABBATH.
Matthew xii. LA; Mark ii. 90 %; iii. L
Luke vi. Ill.

Matthew xii. LA; Mark ii. % %; iii. 1-6;
Luke vi. ILL.
Now it came to pass at that season, that
JESUS went on the Sabbath day through the
cornfelds: and his disciples were an hunger
ed, and began, as they went, to pluck the
ears of corn, and did eat, rubbing them in
tn ir hands. But certain of the Pharisees,
when they saw it, said unto him, "Benold,
why do thy disciples that which is not lawful
to 90 on the Sabbath day?" And JESUS an
swering said unto them, Have ye not read
even this, what David did, when he had need,
and was an hungered, he and they that were
with him2 How he entered into the house OF
GoD, when Abiathar was high priest, and did
take and eat the shew- bread, and gave also
to them that were with him; which it was not
lawful for him to eat, neither for them that
were with him, but only for the priests9 Or
have ye not read in the law, how that on the
Sabbath day the priests in the temple profane
the Sabbath and are guiltless? But 1 say
unto you that one greater than the temple is
here. But if ye had known what this mean
eth, Il desire mercy and not sacrifice ye
would not have condemned the guiltless. :"
And he said unto them, "The Sabbath was
made for man and not man for the Sabbai h:
so that the Son of man is lord even of the
Sabbath"
And he departed thence: and it came to
pass on another Sabbath, that he entered
again into their synagogue and taught: and
behold, there was man there and his right
hand was withered. And the scribes and the
Pharisees watched him, whether he would
heal him on the Sabbath day: that they might
find how to accuse him. And they asked
him, saying, Is it lawful to heal on the Sab
bath day?" But he knew their thoughts, and
he said to the man who had his hand with
cred, "Rise up, and and forth in the midst."
And he arose and stood forth. And JEsUs
said unto them, " ask you, Is it lawful on
the Sabbath day to do good or to do harmi
to save life or to destroy it?" Bat they held
their sace. Aud he said unto them, "What
man shall there be of you, that shall have one
sheep, and if this fall into pit on the Sab
bath day will he not lay hold on it and lift it
out?" How much then is a man of more
value than a sheep Wherefore it is law
full to do good on the Sabbath day" And

CHRIsT's WITNESS TO JOHN.
Matthew XII. 2-15; Luke vi. Is 2S.l

Matthew XII. 2-15; Luke vi. IL %.
And when John heard in the prison the
works of the CHRIST, he, calling unto him two
of his disciples, sent them to the Lord, and
said unto him, cart thou he that cometh, or
look we for another?" And when the men
were come unto him, they said, "John the
Baptist hath sent us unto thee, saying, Art
thou he that cometh, or look we for anoth-
er?" In that hour he cured many of die
eases and plaques and evil spirits; and on
many that were blind he bestowed sight.
And JESUS answered and said unto them,
$50 your way, and tell John what things We
have seen and heard: the blind receive their
sight, and the lame walk, the lepers are
cleansed, and the deaf hear, and the dead
are raised up, and the poor have good tidings
preached to them. And blessed is he, who
soever shall find none occasion of stumbling
in me.'
And when the messengers of John we're de-
parted, JESUS began to say unto the multi
tudes concerning John, What went We out
into the wilderness to behold? A reed
shaken with the wind? But what went ye out
for to see? man clothed in soft rainaealt?
Behold, they that wear soft Tdtnent and are
gorgeously apparelled and live delicately,
are in kings' courts. But wherefore went ye
out? What went We out to see? A prophet?
Yea, say unto you, and much more than a
prophet. This is he of whom it is written,
Behold, send my messenger before thy
face,
Who shall prepare thy way before thee
overly say unto you, Among them that
are born of women there hath not arisen a
greater than John the Baptist; yet he that is
but little in the kingdom of heaven ia greater
than he. And from the days of John the
Baptist until now the kingdom of heaven
suffereth violence, and the men of violence
take it by force. For all the prophets and
the law prophesied until John. And if ye
are willing to receive it, this is Elijah, who is
to come. He that hath ears to hear, let him
hear"

PARABLE OF THE TAREs.
Matthew xiii. $780,

Another parable set he before them, saying,
"The kingdom of heaven is hkened unto a
man that sowed good seed in his field: but
while men slept, his enemy came and sowed
tares also among the wheat, and went away.
But when the blade sprang up, andbrought
forth fruit, then appeared the tares also. And
the servants of the householder came and said
unto him, Sir, didst thou not SOW good seed in
thy field whence then hath it tares?' And he
said unto them, An enemy hath done this
And the servants say unto him, wilt thou then
that we go and gather them up?' But he saith,
Nay; lest haply while ye gather up the tares,
We root up the wheat with them. Let them
grow together until the harvest; and in the
time of the harvest will say to the reapers,
Gather up first the tares, and bind them in
bundles to burn them: but gather the wheat
into my barn."

THE CENTURIoN's FAITH.

Matthew viii. 5-13; Luke vii. 1-10.
After he had ended all his sayings in the
ears of the people, he entered into Caper-
naum.
And certain centurion's servant who was
dear unto him, was sick at the point of death.
And when he heard concerning JESUS, he
sent unto him elders of the Jews, asking him
that he would come and save his servant, and
saying, "My servant lieth in the house sick
of the palsy, grievously tormented." And
they, when they came to JESUS, besought him
earnestly, saying, "He is worthy that thou
shouldst do this for him; for he loveth our
nation, and he himself built us our syna-
gogue." And he saith unto them, " will
come and heal him. And JESUS went with
them. And when he was now not far from
the house, the centurion sent friends to him,
saying unto him, "Lord, trouble not myself;
for l am not worthy that thou shouldst come
under my roof; wherefore neither thought l
myself worthy to come unto thee: but only
say the word, and my servant shall be healed.
For l also am a man set under authority,
having under myself soldiers; and | say to
this one, Co. and he goeth; and to another,
Come and he cometh; and to my servant,
Do this and he doeth it." And when JESUS
heard these things. he marvelled at him, and
turned and said unto the multitude that fol-
lowed him, overly, say unto you, l have
not found so great faith, no not in Israel
And l say unto you that many shall come
from the east and the west, and shall sit
down with Abraham. end Isaac and Jacob in
the kingdom of heaven: but the sons of the
kingdom shall be cast forth into the outer
darkness: there shall be the weeping and
gnashing of teeth" And JESUS said unto the
centurion, :" Go thy way; as thou hast be-
ieved, so be it done unto thee" And the
servant was healed from that hour.

that the Son of Man hath authority on earth
to forgive sins, then saith he to the sick OF
the palsy, 1 say unto thee, Arise and take
up thy bed and go into thy house." And i'm
mediately he rose up before them; and
straightway took up the bed whereon he lay,
and went forth before them all; and departed
to his house, clarifying COP. But when the
multitudes saw it, they were afraid, and
amazement took hold on all, and they glori-
fed GoD, who had given such authority unto
men, saying, "We never sew it on this fash
ion;" and they were filled with fear, saying
"We have seen strange things to-day"

Wis.,, and was laid to rest upon Thanksgiving
day, in our beautiful lockwood" Mr.. Gram
was born in Rocksbury, VT, Sept. %, 1905,
and was therefore in his eighty third year at
the time of his death. He married Marilla
Hays, and came to Wisconsin in 1865, settling
in West Salem, removing from thence to La
Crosse few years since. He was life long
Universalist, as were his parents before him,
and lived his long life as becomes believers
in that faith, upright, honest, true, ever
ready to render sympathy and kindness to
all, and highly respected by all who knew
him. Together with his wife, he united with
st. Paul's Universalist church of La Crosse,
Jan. 7, 1877, and have since walked hand in
hand joyfully, peacefully toward the setting
sun. During the three past years, disease
has tortured and racked his formerly robust
constitution, rendering him helpless in body
but clear in intellect. His faithful wife has
cared for and watched over him as only a
true woman can, relinquishing her place by
his side only when the soul, made pure and
holy through suffering, had passed away,
thence to look forward to blessed meeting
with him beyond this life of suffering. He
waited long, patiently, yet anxiously, for the
sounds "of the dip of the silver oar' which
heralded the approach of the messenger of
death, and peacefully, thankfully passed
away at its CALL leaving bright assurance of
his belief in the text used by Rev. J. M. Pay
son for the beautiful sermon, which was a
fitting tribute to the life of James Cram, viz.
!" For we know that if our earthly house of
this tabernacle were dissolved, we have a
building of God, an house not made with
hands, eternal in the heavens"

Columbus, Wis, Universalism, must have
pleasant recollections of that dear saint who |
was as wise, as modest, and as shy of praise, |
as full of kind words and good deeds, and |
lovingly known by all as Grandma Swift. |
She has entered into rest. On Monday af- |
ternoon, Nov. 81, after a short but severe ill |
ness, the summons came, and she went away |
full of years, honors and love. She was born |
in Shoreham, VT, in 1906, and for more than
half century had illustrated in her own life |
the power of Universalsm to make refined |
and sanity character. For more than forty |
years she has lived here, and her name is
gratefully remembered, and her good deeds
and pure life praise her. LID.

THE TEMPEST sTILLEp.

Matthew viii. 1927; Mark iv. 35-41; Luke
viii. 1926; tx. SLIGO.
Now it came to pass on one of these days.
when JESUS saw great multitudes about him
and even was come he saith unto them, LET
us go over unto the other side of the lake."
And as they went in the way, there came
certain man, scribe and said unto him,
" Master, l will follow thee whithersoever
thou goest." And JESUS saith unto him, 1.-THE
foxes have holes, and the birds of the heaven
haze nests; but the son of Man hath not
where. to lay his head" And he said unto
another, "Follow me.' But he said unto
him, Lord, suffer me first to go and bury
my father" But JESUS saith unto him, Fol
low me; and lsave the dead to bury their own
dead: but go thou and publish abroad the
kingdom of GoD."
And lea wing the multitude he entered into
a boat himself and his disciples, and they
launched forth; and other boats were with
him. But as they sailed he fell asleep on the
cushion, in the stern: and behold there arose
great storm of wind on the lake, and the
waves beat into the boat, insomuch that the
boat was covered with the waves, and was
now filling, and they were in jeopardy. And
they came to him, and awoke him, saying
"Save, Master, we perishg' And he awoke,
and he saith unto them, "Why are ye fearful,
o We of little faith?" Then he arose and re-
buked the winds and the sea. and the raging
of the water, and said unto the sea, Peace,
be STILL" And they ceased, and there was a
great calm. And he said unto them, "Why
are ye fearful? have We not yet faithT'
"Where is your faith?" And the men feared
exceedingly, and marvelled, saying one to
another, "What manner of man is this, that
he commander even the winds and the sea,
and they obey him?"

when he had looked round about on them all
with anger, being grieved at the hardening of
their heart, he saith unto the man, "Stretch
forth thy hand" And he stretched it forth,
and his hand was restored whole, as the other.
And the Pharisees were filled with madness;
and commuped one with another what they
might do with JESUS, and went out, and
straightway with the Herodians took counsel
against. him how they might destroy him.

And JESUS went round about all the cities
and the villages, teaching in their synagogues.
and preaching the gospel of the kingdom,
and healing all manner of diseases and all
manner of sickness. But when he saw the
multitudes, he was moved with compassion
for them, because they were distressed and
scattered, as sheep not having shepherd.
Then saith he unto his disciples, "The har-
vest truly is plenteous, but the laborers are
few. Pray ye, therefore, the Lord of the
harvest that He send forth laborers into His
harvest"
And he called the twelve together unto him
and gave them power and authority over all
demons to cast them out, and to heal all
manner of disease and all manner of sick
ness. These twelve JESUS sent forth by two
and two to preach the kingdom of GoD, and
to heal the sick: and charged them. saying,
Go not in any way of the Gentiles, and
enter not into any city of the Samaritans; but
go rather to the lost sheep of the house of
Israel And as ye go, preach, saying, The
kingdom of heaven is at hand Heal the
sick, raise the dead, cleanse the leperT, cast
out demons: freely ye received, freely give"
Now the names of the twelve apostles are
these: The first Simon, whom he also named
Peter, and Andrew, his brother, and James
the son of Zebedee, and John, the brother of
James, and them he surnamed Bonerges
(which is Sons of Thunder), and Philip, and
Bartholomew, and Matthew the Publican,
and Thomas, and James the son of Apheus,
and Simon the Canan@an who was also called
the Zealot, and Judas the son of James,
called also Thaddeus, and Judas Iscariot,
who also betrayed him.
